Which NetApp product is the cloud-based option for ONTAP deployments?

• A. ONTAP FAS
• B. ONTAP Select
• C. StorageGRID
• D. Cloud Volumes ONTAP

Answer: (D)

Cloud Volumes ONTAP is NetApp’s cloud-delivered version of the ONTAP data management software. It runs ONTAP in public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), so you get the same ONTAP capabilities—such as volume management, data protection, replication, and efficient storage features—without managing physical hardware. This makes it the cloud-based option for ONTAP deployments, in contrast to on-prem hardware solutions like ONTAP FAS or software that runs on generic servers like ONTAP Select, and to StorageGRID, which is a separate object-storage product.
